Banana Diet: Lose Three Kilos in Just a Few Days. How Does It Work?

(Last Updated On: August 20, 2018) Do you dream of losing three kilos in just a few days? Then try the banana diet: tasty, quick and easy to follow.

The new weight-loss regime – which has also won over Hollywood stars – comes from Japan and more than a diet is a philosophy of life, because it teaches us to recognize and control the sense of hunger, to help us lose weight.

How does it work? Do not eat bananas throughout the day, but only for breakfast. You can consume even two, as long as they are ripe and fresh, accompanied by yogurt and oatmeal.

The banana diet is ideal for those who do not want to worry too much about calories and do not want to waste time weighing everything you eat. The important thing is to get up from the table when you do not feel completely satisfied yet and with that “bit of hunger” that will allow you to lose weight without effort.

At lunch, you can eat pasta, rice or wholemeal bread, accompanied by vegetables, while at dinner there is plenty of space for legumes, fish and lean meat with a light side dish. For snacks, you can opt for a cup of green tea, dried fruit or Greek yogurt.

In this way you can get to lose up to 4 pounds in a few days, improving the functioning of the intestine and learning to recognize the stimulus of hunger and control it.

The diet, dubbed the Morning Banana Diet, was conceived by Sumiko Watanabe, a pharmacist, and her husband, Hitoshi Watanabe, who works at the Japan Body Care Academy, a Japanese scientific organization.

The slimming regimen has contributed in part to rehabilitate the banana, which has always been considered an enemy of diets. This fruit is often discouraged for those who want to lose weight, because it contains sugars and carbohydrates, in fact, it is also rich in fiber, which helps the stomach to deflate and promote a sense of satiety.
